PHUKET: Fancy an opportunity to test drive a super car? Or go for a ride in a private helicopter? Or how about enjoying a cruise on a marquee yacht such as the 80-foot Emily Rose?

These possibilities and much more will grace Phuket when the all new SMART Property and Lifestyle Expo takes place at Royal Phuket Marina, December 27-30. The event is billed as “Phuket’s biggest extravaganza for 'accessible luxury', where visitors are invited to see, feel and taste the luxury life.”

The expo brings together the best in international, as opposed to purely local, property. It will also include exciting lifestyle activities that epitomize luxury.

Entry to the exhibition is free of charge.

According to organizer Hoi Cheung, Director of Hong Kong-based 3C Ltd, “Phuket has become known as a playground for the world’s rich and famous, attracting pop stars, celebrities, supermodels and multi-millionaires. What we are trying to achieve is to provide a taste of the luxury lifestyle experience to international visitors and local residents.”

During the four-day event, there will be tastings of gastronomic delights such as the highest quality beer, caviar and fine wines. There will be a live fashion show and glamorous cocktail parties.
